At Hyster, we carry a diverse array of forklifts to suit all of your application needs. Like for example, the J45-70XN has the unique component design and Drop Battery Box that enables this particular model to use pneumatic tires. Using the pneumatic tires allows for a smoother ride because of reduced vibrations even when the surfaces are bumpy. This kind of electric truck has 4,500 to 7,000 pound capacities for tasks performed both outdoors and indoors. The electric motor on these models enables them to be a great zero emissions alternatives to other engines. Hyster offers a line of three wheel trucks as well as four wheel forklifts to suit work areas which require a tight turning radius. The J30-40XNT unit is a three wheel lift truck which surpasses nearly all other forklifts in its ability to manoeuvre through confined spaces and turn sharp corners. This series of forklifts is great in crowded or limited work spaces, making both unloading and loading safer and easier. This forklift also features dual steering wheels to offer an even smoother and more stable ride. The J30-40XN unit is a four wheel lift truck that has manoeuvrability really similar to a three wheel lift truck. The four wheel design on this particular model provides a Zero Turning Radius axle which is usually much more comfortable when longer distances have to be covered.
There are many optional features and lots of standard features provided on all Hyster forklifts. The optional operator selectable performance mode will enable the operator to set up levels of performance from job to job. Further, it can allow a supervisor or manager to set the maximum level of performance if safety might be an issue, like if a new operator is learning how to use the forklift, helping the driver to learn in a more controlled way.
Enclosed operator cabs might be a good alternative in some environments to help protect employees from harsh conditions. To keep the workers safe, the enclosed operator cabs provide tempered glass, sound proofing, and an emergency exit. Panoramic and dual rear view mirrors are available to improve operator visibility, particularly of the tail swing area and the part behind the forklift. Impact monitors can be installed that disable the unit and require a manager or supervisor to re-enable the truck. This can help to make sure that employees are safely operating machines. To prevent forklifts from rolling when the driver intends to stop, an auto park brake is an optional feature that can be added. The park brake applied itself automatically when the lift truck comes to a full stop.
Certain ratings may be needed for various applications. The approved construction standards and particularly the UL GS, LPS, DS underwriter laboratory rating labels will tell the user whether the lift truck is equipped with added resistance to spark creation. If there is an issue, there is a mechanical main battery disconnect. An EE UL rating means that the lift truck could be utilized in work areas where arcs or sparks from electrical machines could ignite airborne deposits.
